Khloe Kardashian and French Montana are on a break, eight months after the reality star started dating the rapper, Us Weekly reported.

A source told the publication: “The relationship got too heavy and Khloe needed to take a step back.”

Another insider says French Montana, 29, was too “needy” for Khloe Kardashian, 30.

Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner “did not approve and told Khloe all the time”, an insider said. Previous reports also claimed that sister Kim Kardashian and stepdad Bruce Jenner were “very skeptical” of French Montana and worried he was using Khloe for fame.

Khloe Kardashian herself didn’t seem too concerned about French Montana’s motives, though, even after he admitted he wanted to “capitalize” on the attention. French Montana later said his words had been taken out of context and gushed that he’d do anything for his lady love.

“She supports me with everything I do,” French Montana told Access Hollywood Live in August.

“When it comes to her career, I don’t think about it. If she needs me to do something, I do it.”
